I am reading with alarm the fact that SLV may not actually be backed up with an equivalent amount of high quality silver.

Are there regulations to ensure that there is an equivalent amount of assets backing an ETF? If not, ETF managers are mere bookies.
I quote one forumer, ETFs are reliable as long as investors believe they are reliable. If a scandal happens to a rogue ETF, be it a commodity or stock, it will lead to a run on all ETFs, and considering the hundreds of billions if not trillion invested in ETF, world stocks and commodity markets will pop like a balloon.
